On October 4th, 2013 the Haunt Rater Crew
ventured out to Shocktoberfest! We will begin by telling you one thing…these
guys never disappoint! We started our night of sheer torture by experiencing
the “Unknown”! We were first greeted by Shawna, a scary greeter who attempted
to prepare us for the worst, though we could not be fully prepared for what
would be lurking in wait for us once inside! What are your fears? Hydrophobia
(Fear of Water), Ophidiophobia (Fear of Snakes), or maybe even…Xenophobia (Fear
of the Unknown)! You have never experienced real fear until you have
experienced the Unknown!

Next
we made our way through the Zombie Safari Haunted Hayride. We saw many undead,
though in most safari’s you are not the one who ends up being fed to the
Zombies. Once we entered the safari our courage was tested as the security was
lifted throughout the entire facility and Zombies were now on the loose,
allowed to make us their next meal! We never thought we would have made it out
alive or with any pieces of our bodies in tact!

Last
we were escorted by bus over to the Prison in which we were given belts with
three flags, each one representing a major organ in our body. We were warned
that if the Zombies collected all three of our flags or major organs, we would
in turn become infected with the “Undead Virus” and we would forever remain
Zombies, to never leave the Prison of the Dead and to haunt its corridors for
all eternity! Yet we somehow made it out, unaffected, but not unscathed!
